About Figure
Figure is maximizing the value of homeownership in ways that benefit consumers and the industry alike. We’re helping homeowners tap their liquidity easily, efficiently and reasonably for purpose-driven, significant expenditures – everything from dream home renovations and debt consolidation to small business formation.
In seven years, we’ve become the country’s #1 non-bank HELOC lender. As a financial technology firm operating at the intersection of regulation and transformation, we’re a “unicorn” – a group of fewer than 1000 companies globally that is valued at $1B or more and has been in operation for less than ten years.
Our mission requires us to have a creative, team-oriented, and supportive environment where everyone can do their absolute best. We are motivated, innovative, collaborative, and curious. We value individuals who bring a problem-solving mindset to every task. Every day at Figure is a journey in continuous learning combined with a focus on getting work done that makes a difference.

What We Do
Figure has applied blockchain technology across a series of real-world applications that are delivering real and immediate value to everyday consumers across sectors, including loan origination, private company cap table and fund management, security markets and payments. Figure has and continues to develop innovative products and services that seek to bypass traditional incumbents within the financial services industry.
Simply put, Figure is delivering on the promise of blockchain technology. Over $15B in transactions have been conducted on the Provenance Blockchain, a layer 1 designed for financial services, built and deployed by Figure.
As one of the first lenders to fully use blockchain technology, Figure is driving adoption across the lending ecosystem and providing stakeholders the benefit of an immutable record of asset ownership on the Provenance Blockchain. Figure’s HELOC product has enabled over 85,000 households across 45 states to unlock a combined $6 billion in equity from their homes. These lines of credit give people the opportunity to fund home improvement projects, secondary education, and more.
Figure is a regulatory powerhouse, boasting over 200 lending, servicing and money transmission licenses, SEC approval as an Alternative Trading System, and FINRA approved broker-dealer status. While some fintech companies aim to compete with traditional banks, Figure has stuck to expanding use cases for blockchain in finance and creating tech-enabled solutions for deep financial change in the markets. The company's iterative approach to product development has helped it to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
Why Work With Us
Figure creates tech-enabled, cutting-edge solutions for deep financial change, meeting the evolving needs of its customers. As the only firm leveraging blockchain technology to create real-world applications and immediate value to everyday consumers, Figure is effectively bridging the gap between the digital asset and traditional finance spaces.
